Let us introduce you to Betty – your new best friend. Started as a University project, Betty began life as a gorgeous online magazine which is now debuting in print – and we were lucky enough to attend the launch party with some seriously stylish Betty girls.

As championed by blogger extraodinaire Susie Bubble, one of the most stylish girls on radio, Lauren Laverne, and fashion glossy Grazia, the mantra of this new quarterly magazine is to celebrate being one of the girls. For everyone from 18 to 80 we just love the vintage inspired fashion, hair tips, recipes and stories. So, let them tell you all about Betty….

Betty is your new best friend

She knows a lot but she's not a know-it-all

She has a vintage heart and high street shoes

She cooks but she's not a chef

She blogs and tweets but loves a good old magazine

We don’t know about you, but we’re hooked! Betty – let’s be friends. And now over to them....The girls behind this magazine have hand picked their favourite pieces on our site this season. Shop their fashion favourites direct from this page, and then catch up with the Betty girls on their website here.
 

Oh Lana Del Rey - how much do we love thee? Let us count the ways... So much so that we were mesmerised when we first heard her track Video Games and have been playing it on repeat at Oasis HQ ever since.

With her album out at the end of this month and stunning style already gracing the cover of countless magazines, we don't think Lana is going to be a rising star for much longer, but a huge worldwide singing sensation. Catch up with her latest track here for a signature slice of what she calls 'Hollywood pop'.

The war against Winter starts here! It may be cold outside, but feminine florals are a style classic that we're determined to wear all year round. Imagine your very own garden party - but it may have to be inside at this time of year - and try pretty ditsy prints or experiment with full on flower power.

Our current favourite look, below, teams matching flowers on separates but for your first foray into this trend, you can try just a subtle top here or flower print scarf there. It's the perfect way to blow away the cobwebs as we move through January. The race is on for the first person who spots a daffodil in bloom in their garden!

Shop our Winter florals here. 

You can imagine the squeals of excitement at Oasis HQ when we received a fabulously wrapped gift box filled with gorgeous beauty products - what a treat! Courtesy of our friends at GLOSSYBOX (you may have seen them as part of our Advent Calendar), they'd sent us their special Christmas box, filled to the brim with products to adorn our dressing table.

If you thought the arrival of your monthly magazine subscription was exciting, then imagine being sent a beautiful selection of gifts each month, courtesy of this new brand of beauty. Promising only the most covetable products, a GLOSSYBOX subscription is a seriously stylish gift to your loved one (or, of course, yourself) . We'll be fuelling our beauty junkie habit with monthly fixes of make up, skincare, body care, fragrance and hair care.
